Consultations for the Business and Professional Person

Ms. Lovetri has consulted for Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Brooks Brothers, and Morgan Stanley on Wall Street; and for many business executives and professionals; assisting them in developing more persuasive, effective public presentation. Since clear and powerful public speaking is a vital tool in the business and professional world, it is important to know how to have a healthy, attractive speaking voice. Ms. LoVetri's Somatic Voicework™ combined with her more than three decades of experience working with all kinds of voices, allows her to direct others easily and quickly to vocal change. Although no musical experience is required, and clients are not required to sing songs or perform, her techniques which have been derived from years of working with singers, have proven to produce exceptional results.

What Somatic Voicework™ Can Do

Somatic Voicework™ methods are easy to learn and use, and adapt well to the needs of the busy corporate executive or professional. They assist in bringing out the best qualities of the speaking voice. They facilitate public speaking, personal presentation, self-confidence, and persuasiveness. They work quickly and effectively to produce a dynamic, effective speaking voice for both men and women.

Stress Reduction

The effects of music as a method of stress reduction are well documented. Singing is a natural form of self-expression and it is very possible to learn to make sound freely and playfully, as children do. Singing can also increase creativity, stimulate innovative thinking, and lead to new ways of learning to listen and express.

Somatic Voicework™ can help individuals relax, renew and refresh. Workshops for groups provide a comfortable atmosphere for interaction in a non-threatening environment, using vocal expression as a tool.

What's Available

Corporate workshops are available in a variety of formats that can be tailored to the needs of specific individuals or departments. Please contact us for further information.
